    No there is no relationship. It’s a form of cardio exercise since it increases your heart rate. Sustained increased heart rate is a form of exercise and is usually beneficial.

    If anything, it would reduce it.

    Orgasms (no matter how achieved) release natural endorphins. While pulse and plood pressure go up during a sexual act, they quickly fall off to a lower then normal rate afterwards. There have been studies that showed a possible link to these endorphins and the lowering of stress levels.

    Odds are, there is some other cause. Genetics, diet, or stress in your life is a much more likely reason.
